Usually not, but it depends on the substrate material. The bonding of the coating and the damage to the substrate have their own energy levels. When the bonding energy level is lower than the damage energy level, there is no damage, otherwise there will be damage. Dry ice cleaning is usually used for cast iron, tool steel, aluminum alloys, chrome plated surfaces, etc. Other softer materials such as plastics, pure copper, fibers, etc. can also be used, but must be tested in advance.
